"The Treaty of Lisbon introduced a new regulatory framework for institutional transparency in the EU in the interests of open, effective and independent European administration by establishing an inalienable fundamental right of access to the documents of EU institutions, bodies, departments and agencies. The Treaty extends this right not just to EU citizens, but to any legal or natural person resident in a Member State, and it should be applied subject to general principles and limitations (provisions established to protect certain public and private interests) established in the regulations adopted by the European Parliament and by the Council. In particular, the general rule that applies is full access to legislative documents while restricting the exceptions relating to non-legislative documents without these two approaches coming into conflict with one another.
Transparency is basic element of participatory democracy and supplements the representative democracy on which the functioning of the EU is based, as is set out in Articles 9-11 TEU, by enabling citizens to participate in the decision-making process and to exercise public control, thereby guaranteeing the legitimacy of the democratic political system. In the same way, joint document classification rules must be underwritten in law. I also express my full support for freedom of opinion within the scope of entities and institutions as well as a reasonable balance between transparency and data protection."@en1
